The Sport of Ball Hockey
How It Began
Ball hockey was started in Durham Region 35 years ago by some awesome folks, Mary and John Platt. They rented a bus of neighbourhood kids, took them to a gymnasium Simcoe Hall and here we are. Mary believed there was a place for girls to join and started a woman's league. Now we honour her drive and love for the sport with this girls league in Whitby. Mary's initials will be on every jersey, as she carries us through this journey to more Worlds for more golds. The opportunity to play a game we love, for a country who loves hockey.
What Whitby Fire Is All About
Tracy Kitchen has been involved in hockey since she was 10
Referring, playing, coaching, and doing anything else she could to get involved. After inspiring and leading the team to Gold in Slovakia, the start of a dream was born.
Get a league in place for girls so they can experience all the great rewards of hard work.
We want the girls to have a league of their own, to feel comfortable playing at their level, to be confident in their skills and to develop a love for a sport. To dream of one day getting to hear their national anthem on a international level themselves!
What You Need
You will need some equipment to enjoy this sport. CSA approved helmet with face mask, gloves, black shorts knee length, SOCCER SHIN PADS with black socks and a really good pair of indoor running shoes. It can get really slippery out there. Optional is a jill and elbow pads, although they are highly recommended.
Who Can Play
This League is girls only league, and from what we have been told, the only one in the country!!!! Girls of any age are welcome to play. Whitby girls is open to all calibers of player, experience or nothing at all!! We will ensure each team will have equal experienced players, for a fair playing floor for all. Teams will be organized based on who registers. Our goal is 4 teams per age group.
What We Offer
Our league is going to be lots of fun for all who play. We offer a safe environment for all calibers to feel comfortable and confident to play. It will be encouraging, positive and exciting every week. We want your girls to want to come out every week and have fun, to tell their friends about it and help them want to come. This way we grow the sport for girls, giving more opportunity in the future.
